William Arkwright born 1754 Manchester

[Julieam]

Hi, I am looking for the below information please,

Name: Abraham Arkwright

Estimated birth year: abt 1788 died 1858 (age 70 death cert confirmed)
Gender: Male

Civil Parish: Manchester
Hundred: Salford
County/Island: Lancashire
Registration district: Ashton under Lyn
 
His father I believe was William Arkwright born 1754 who married (I believe parish records) Betty Dobson although from family search.org the Arkwright name is showing as Akeroad (?).

I am looking for information on William Arkwright above and his siblings together with parent details if possible.  Is anyone able to help in either confirming parents of Abraham are indeed William, and if so the siblings of William.

Thanks.

Julie

Hi Julie,

The record on Family Search is submitted rather than extracted so may be inaccurate, however, Lancs OPC also has the marriage in the name of Akeroad.

Marriage: 6 Apr 1779 St Chad, Rochdale, Lancashire
William Akeroad Betty Dobson
W: Thos Brearley

Not much additional detail except the name of the church.  There don't seem to be any children of this couple baptised at St Chads.

Have you got Abraham in 1841 and 1851 to confirm his place of birth?

Hi,

thank you for your reply, I have the following for their children,
Children of WILLIAM AKEROAD and BETTY DOBSON are:
JOHN AKEROAD, ARKWRIGHT, b. Nov 1780, chapel Nr. Bacup Co. Lancs.
ABRAHAM ARKWRIGHT, b. Mar 1788, Chapel Nr Bacup Co. Lancs -; d. 15 Sep 1858, Aston Warwick
JAMES AKEROAD ARKWRIGHT, b. Feb 1791, Bacup Co. Lancs.

I believe there is a possibility but unable to factual check if a Samuel Akeroad is the father of William he married a Mary? Samuel was born in Rochdale I have do date of birth. 

I am confident the information on Abraham is correct, it is his parents I am concerned that I have the wrong info.  Abraham moved to Aston in Warwick and the line from here I have.  Just really stuck in going back and appreciate any help.

Huge huge thanks.

Julie
